Florida Frozen

Florida is experiencing unusually frigid weather lately. I came across an amazing photograph from a Christian Science website. I am not at all endorsing Christian science however these photos are beautiful. Nature is truly amazing.

All photos below are from CSmonitor.com.

Manatees gather in the warm water discharged into the Intracoastal Waterway from the Florida Power & Light Riviera Beach power plant. Sixty-one degrees F is the minimum temperature that a manatee needs to survive, and the utility company is helping to prevent deaths by turning on the heaters at the plant as forecasters predict the approach of another pocket of Arctic air.
